Abstract, Modern Icon with Subtle 'V' Design

We are searching for a logo designer to create an icon for our brand.

Our company name begins with a V, and we would like to incorporate that along with an icon above our text logo. We want to recognize the letter V, but not necessarily overtly - it can be abstract or as part of a design, not the entire design itself.

Key Requirements:
- Incorporate a V into a cleanly designed icon
- Black, grey, white - no gradients
- Must use Adobe Illustrator
- Icon must work across signage, digital, and print applications

We are looking for a standalone logo icon that feels modern, polished, and timeless. It should embody a lifestyle — confident and professional, appealing to our main demographic in their mid-20s to mid-30s.

- DO -
- Create a strong, upscale, elegant icon (not just a letterform).
- Explore the balance of geometric + organic shapes, for example, slightly rounded edges vs sharp corners - Optional concept of nesting in abstract ways.
- Optional concept of using negative space.
- Optional concept of geometric shapes or abstract linework.
- Optional concept of layering or intersecting objects
- Optional concept of nesting (like an abstract bird's nest)

- DON'T -
- Don’t rely on a single letter or edited font.
- Don’t make it sharp or overly corporate.
- Don’t make it whimsical or overtly feminine.
- Don’t make it simplistic to the point of losing its presence.
- No obvious shapes or symbols like hearts or leaves
